… Is dumb. Or how I set up an accident waiting to happen.
Got on the step stool last night to affix a ribbon to the overhead fan as the receiver is toast and no longer responds to the remote.
Xavier’s 6 foot cat tree was located only a couple of feet behind me as I worked.
Of course I risked a haircut by keeping the fan at full tilt while I tied the pull string.
Engrossed in my work I failed to see Xavier climbing his tree.
Next I felt claws in my shoulder and then heard and felt Xavier getting whacked by the fan blades before he fell to the floor at which point he scampered under the bed.
Fortunately he was more scared than hurt. A treat lured him out and he consented to an exam.
He’s OK. I think we’re both stupid.
